The Graphic Design Sourcebook delves into the vast array of graphic design that surrounds us wherever we go, and has done so ever since printing was invented. Yet everyday graphics have too often been ignored as an art form. With over a thousand images, The Graphic Design Sourcebook is an inspiring source book, a social history, a treasure trove of ideas and a true cornucopia of communication.

From Victorian song sheets to punk fanzine covers, French perfume labels to decorative greetings cards, cigarette packets to holiday brochures, ice-lolly wrappers to racy night club tickets, these miniature masterpieces deserve artistic recognition.

Consumer historian Robert Opie began saving the evidence of our branded world when he was sixteen years old. In 1975, he curated his widely praised exhibition The
Pack Age at the V&A. After a career in market research, he opened the Museum of Advertising and Packaging, Britain's first museum devoted to the remarkable story of
the consumer revolution. Having compiled some twenty books and created a two-hour documentary In Search of our Throwaway History, Robert's new book overflows
with more extraordinary material.
